Chinsegut Hill Manor House
Chinsegut Hill Manor House, Historic plantation manor house in Brooksville, Florida
The vernacular architecture mansion stands at 269 feet elevation, making it one of the highest points in peninsular Florida.
Colonel Byrd Pearson established the property in the 1840s as a sugarcane plantation, and Francis Higgins Ederington constructed the current manor between 1852 and 1854.
Raymond and Margaret Robins hosted notable figures including Thomas Edison, Helen Keller, and William Jennings Bryant at their residence during the early 1900s.
The manor house opens for guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with advance ticket purchases required.
The name Chinsegut originates from Inuit language, translating to 'the spirit of things lost and regained' after Raymond Robins' time in Alaska.
